2.4.1 Step 1: Calculate the dry matter in the excreted manure. The manure contains 40% moisture, meaning 60% is dry matter. Dry matter in manure = Total manure × (100\% - Moisture percentage) Dry matter in manure = 3.5 kg × (1 - 0.40) Dry matter in manure = 3.5 kg × 0.60 Dry matter in manure = 2.1 kg Step 2: Calculate the dry matter absorbed by the animal. The dry matter absorbed is the difference between the dry matter consumed and the dry matter excreted. Dry matter absorbed = Dry matter consumed - Dry matter in manure Dry matter absorbed = 12.5 kg - 2.1 kg Dry matter absorbed = 10.4 kg 2.4.2 One animal factor that might have influenced the digestibility of the feed is the age of the animal.
